In practice the end portions of the tie are passed. through the innerstrip or plate 0 end. into the transverse end openings or apertures c,after which the sold end portions of the tie passed through the slots orstrip or plate 0!, and into the transverse end openings or apertures din the end portions 0 the strip or plate (1 and the device is then incondition for use as shown in Figs. 1 end 2. The tie is laced on the cllnr, or around the collar, un er the turned down pert o, and saidcollar is buttoned at the hack ond'l'ront to the neck bond, and theendportions of the tie F) are tied, ell in the usual. manner.
